Struggling with grief and survivor’s guilt, Marianne no longer works at the office. Instead, she researches cases from home. She suffers from night terrors, visitations from a formless entity intending to end not only of her life, but also that of her unborn child. Marianne believes the specter to be Luca Aiello, who killed her husband and died trying to to murder her. For support, Marianne turns to Deborah, who feels unequal to the task, but tries her best.

Meanwhile, Boone is hired by a woman to locate her runaway husband and serve him with divorce papers. As Marianne investigates the case for Boone, she unearths facts suggesting Boone’s client has some other purpose in mind. Eventually, Boone comes to the same conclusion. But what can the client’s ultimate purpose be? Is someone else working behind the scenes to settle scores with Boone, once and for all?

Mark Wallace, a detective recently retired from the Albany PD, has moved into Marianne’s office on a shared-space agreement with Boone & Bell, until his client base allows him to establish his own agency. The adult sons of the late George and Mazie Tucker, to express their hatred of Boone over his perceived
failure to prevent their mother’s death, seek Wallace’s help in a case. Despite their wishes, Wallace seeks Boone’s help with the case. Even though discouraged by the Tucker boys’ ill feelings toward him, Boone agrees to help Wallace in a case that turns out to have unforeseeable consequences.
